The development and implementation of a comprehensive interactive computer package for the generation of finite element meshes for two‐dimensional problems is described. The package, AGTHOM, minimizes the user defined input and attempts to maximize the flexibility for the user with regard to modifying the mesh. An important feature of AGTHOM is its independence of expensive graphics hardware by using approximate terminal plots. Versions are available in both extended BASIC and FORTRAN.
